Motivating Your Staff with Positive Notes

My Center Director and Assistant Director are reading a Book titled For by Jeff Henderson. The forward is written by one of my mentors, John Maxwell.

This book has helped us to stay focused on who we are for and it also has given us fresh insight on how to build a positive culture.

In chapter 11 Jeff talked about how he wrote three thank you notes a day five days a week to motivate his staff. Then he ended the chapter with this note: ” A person who feels appreciated will always do more than expected.”

Wow! So I took Jeff advice and left done sticky notes on some classroom doors for the lead teachers to read and I. return someone left a Sticky note on my office door. It was a great feeling to see that note and it truly inspired me.

I hope that you have been inspired to motivate your team and boost the morale in your child care business.

The Leadership Meeting

“Everything Rises and Falls on Leadership.”- John Maxwell

Your business success is solely dependent on your ability to lead a team or other leaders. In 2017, I took on a second location and at that time, I had two Directors and 20 employees. Back then, I realize that I could not be everywhere at the same time, however, I had two wonderful Directors, that could see what was happening on a daily basis in the facilities.

This is when I decided to do a weekly leadership meeting to stay informed on what was going on in the facilities and I also, utilized Leadership meetings as a way to inspire my Center Directors. I must be quite honest with you, it is one thing to lead yourself and hold yourself accountable, but when it comes to holding others accountable, that’s a whole new ball game.

Do you have a Center Director? Do you have multiple locations? Do you frequently leave someone in charge of your home daycare or center?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, I want to challenge you to hold a weekly Leadership meeting to be sure that your Leaders know what you expect, and it is a great way to set goals together for Business Success!

Here is a Sample Leadership Meeting Agenda:

Date: Time:

Start your meeting with a funny story or Prayer.

List a leadership Quote on the meeting agenda.

Be sure to indicate the date and time of the meeting.

Agenda:

  1. Safe playground practices
  2. Getting prepared for an upcoming licensing visit.
  3. Address Parent concerns.
  4. Our goals for the week.

Look ahead together and discuss upcoming events, etc.

I hope that you are inspired to empower those Leaders around you to assure that your Dream is carried out by Leaders that you took the time to inspire. Also, I want to encourage you to download my Art of Owning a Center Coaching Series or my Book 7 keys to Successfully Managing multiple Locations.

Please take a moment to let me know if you are a Center Owner with one or more Directors on your team. I am working on a membership club for Child Care Leaders.

With your Success in Mind!
